BE-DEMoCRAT: General Buffers
elaborate attempt to show that the
condemned anarchists have special
rights by reason of treaties with the
foreign governments to which they owe
allegiance is ingenious and diverting;
but the verdict of the supreme court
and of the country will most likely be
that he talked better law and better
sense when he said in 1862 at New
Orleans:
81 think foreign resident here has
not one more right than an American
citizen, but at least one right less; {. e..
that of meddling or interfering by dis
cussing, vote or otherwise with the
affairs of the government"

HERE is sentiment from the immor-
tai Lincoln that should be committed
to memory by every true American:
with malice towards none, with char
ity towards all, with firmness in the
right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we
are in; to bind up the nation s wounds;
to care for him who shall have borne
the battle, and for his widow and his
orphans; to do all which may achieve
and cherish just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations .

The Kansas City Journal. speaking
of the recent confederate demonstra-
ton at Macon, Ga, says:
In all that crowd of marching men
the only standards borne aloft were the
stars and bars. the insignia OF disloy-
atty and rebellion, and when one man
yentured to put two small Union flags
on the end Of q pike pole they were
torn down and trampled under foot,
amid the enthusiastic cheers OF the
crowd.
just think of it, the stars and stripes
torn down and trampied under foot by
the same crowd that pulled it down at
Sumter, and ri0dled it with bullets on
a hundred battle feidsl It is enough
70 make the blood OF every loyal man

IN Mississippi there is virtually no
state republican organization, because
the political situation in that state is
such that it does not permit such an
organization to exist. Ex-Congress-
man Lynch says: Republican voters
are completely and effectually disfran-
chised by violence and fraud, and the
election OF MIR. Cleveland is construed
as a national Endorsement of these
methods" And yet, with this exam
pie of their antagonists staring them
in the face, republicans in Emporia
coolly advocate voting for democrats
because of little personal feeling
caused by the defeat of some favorite
candidate for the nomination.

A FINE point is involved in case
now pending in the United States court.
A company of soldiers was ordered to
eject lot of settlers from an Indian
reservation in California, but before
the arrival of the troops the squatters
secured an injunction from the state
courts restraining the United States
authorities from molesting them. Not
withstanding service was had upon
them, the soldiers under Captain Shaw
proceeded to carry out the orders from
their superior officers. The state then
called out the militia to enforce the
restraining order of the state courts.
In order to prevent conflict, the sec
rotary of war ordered General
Howard to withdraw the troops pend

By stroke of enterprise the NeY

swindle and saved many who would
otherwise have invested in the stock of
the concern from serious pecuniary loss.
Observing that attractive advertise
ments proclaiming the richness of the
Tortilita mine in Arizona were appear
ing in the newspapers, and that the
company had issued circulars in which
the Tortilita was represented as second
only to the Comstock, the Herald COM
missioned a correspondent and min
ing expert, the latter a resident of Den
yer, to make an investigation. These
gentlemen, after a patient and careful
personal examination, discovered and
have reported that the mine is not
yielding more than enough to pay the
wages of those engaged in it, and that
as it is devoid of ore-bearing veins
there is no probability that it will ever
yield more than at present.
